Penny!

The leaves on the bulb started to turn yellow, but the flowers are still fragrant.

Here's what happens when you try to enjoy a snack around here.

Pop up Penny

Pleading Penny

Really persistent Penny.

Perplexed Penny

Her favorite trick with a shopping bag is to stick her head in one of the handles, but she never knows what to do after.

Three Penny faces. She has many others but these are her "sulking" ones.

On the way to Uncles we passed a Pro Life demonstration at the Capitol by March for Life supporters

A little further on Chinatown was blocked off for the Chinese New Years festival. Musn't forget to buy narcissus.

At Uncles
Our waitress turned off the lights above the photos
I wanted to snap to get rid of the glare.
What a big catch and how do the men stay balanced on those boats! Such skill.

From Nico's to Diamond Head

We both went to the gym today to exercise so we felt that we could go back to Nico's and have a hearty dinner. They allow dogs outdoors so Penny was happy.

The crispy calamari was so good. They have wines on tap and the special of the day was a Riesling for $5.

I was going to order the short ribs last time we came, but was side tracked by the mahimahi fish and chips. A bit salty but tender.

R ordered the furikake ahi.

Good Penny. I took off her collar and she was quiet through the whole dinner watching the people outside.

Fishing boats in the harbor in front of Nico's .

The ride back to Ala Moana. Aloha Tower.

Wards Warehouse under the moon.

Drove through the boat harbor in front of the Prince Hotel.

View from the Hilton Lagoon area.

The drive up to Diamond Head lookout.

Diamond Head Lighthouse.

Remember the days when we were children and Madame Pele walked on Diamond Head? And you should never carry pork in your car?
The kiawe trees are still there but Madame Pele has long gone on to find more suitable haunting grounds.

Treat for Pudgie and Penny

French toast (whole grain bread dipped in eggs and soy milk and fried in butter and coconut oil) for lunch attracted Penny and Pudgie but not R, who had plain toast with almond butter.

Not the fluffiest or tastiest, but Penny devoured her piece.

Of course, Pudgie came to investigate.

Our love bird Pudgie prefers only walnuts, apples and bird seed but will eat egg and french toast.
He is 14 years old and keeps well by flying and perching above Penny.

Penny's paws.
Her nails look like long scary claws because they're black like the fur points above them.

See? Not scary.

Penny's first day out

We went to Fendu for our lunch bringing along olives from the Whole Foods olive bar, grapes and cheese to go with the croissants.

Dachshunds can be noisy as we found out when a cute long haired dachshund came to sit at the next table. (Luckily we were finished with our lunch)
Wanted to photograph the cutie, but we had to hurry away from the resulting barkathon.

At Craig Sensei's studio. Rude Penny barked at MiuMiu the resident cat, who snubbed her and sauntered away.

Practiced trying to feel and hear the different resonances of head and chest voices. Thank you sensei for making it understandable. Now to actualize what I learned.

This evening we decided to go to Nico's because they allow pets in their outdoor seating area.

Their fish and chips (mahimahi today) has a crispy beer batter like we had in London.

In the harbor around Nico's and Uncle's many of the fishermen were having dinner aboard their boats.

There is something romantic about a harbor especially in the quiet evening time.

Finally, someone Penny wants to play with.

When we got back to our garage who should be there but Buddy, Penny's neighbor and good friend. Except she couldn't romp with him today because the vet said no rough stuff.
